    This place is still very good but has some growing frustrations. The parking situation for shows is…read morekind of dire. If you are lucky you can get parking close by but realistically you are walking from the school parking lot nearby which is about a 10 minute walk. The Haw River ballroom crowd is a very particular type of aging scene person crowd where a lot of people like to bring their kids and force them to listen to the music they like. The crowd also loves to be uncomfortably close at times too. A lot of dudes not realizing they are jamming you in the back with their craft beers or women flipping back their hair into your face time and again. This place is really a haul even for people in Durham where it's past Carrboro and in the middle of nowhere. The restrooms are pretty nasty. I do love that they have a coffee bar upstairs that has a decent menu and honestly something I liked having access to at a concert and feeling a little tired as I waited for the headlining performer.

    This place is ok. I've been twice in the past ten years, most recently this week. It feels very far…read moreaway, and the parking is sprawled out and really annoying. Their website threatens that you'll be towed if you park on the side of the road yet tons of people do it anyway. The front door is a bottleneck because they have a paper list that they're checking for your name on. Also the bar only takes cash so they have an ATM on site. What year is it? The staff were friendly, but since I want about to use an ATM I didn't really interact with many of them. I'll go there if there's an artist I really want to see, but I don't think the venue alone would draw me.

    I've been to Flat Iron for a variety of events over the years, live music, dance/rave nights,…read morerandom events on Monday. I've always had a great time. It's a small, intimate venue, which makes every event feel more personal and creates a great connection between the performers and the audience. The owners are musicians themselves, and it really shows. They understand what makes a great venue and consistently bring in a diverse lineup of entertainment. While Flat Iron is a bar, they also allow guests under 21 to attend many of their live music events, making it an accessible spot for music lovers of all ages. Their drink selection is solid too, with sodas, beer, wine, cocktails, hard seltzers, and THC beverages available. As a locally owned and operated business, Flat Iron is one of those places that helps make Greensboro's music and arts scene special. I'll definitely be back the next time I see something on their calendar. If you're interested in checking them out, give them a follow on Instagram for the latest shows and events. you never know what fun you'll discover next, they have up and coming artists and even nostalgic local bands and artists from the past.

    Great music venue -- really intimate, which was nice. Appreciate that the performers hung around…read moreand interacted with the crowd. Fast drink service too. One FYI: they charged an extra $5 for my brother at the door because he's under 21, which wasn't disclosed during online purchase or listed anywhere on the site.

    Had my first visit here last night all thanks to Yelp events!…read more I love how they have remodeled from previous tenants. Industrial/rustic type atmosphere. The auditorium can be customized for any even from cocktail tables to standing room only. They have balcony/pew seating on second level. And they have a lounge to order drinks. Parking available is street parking or nearby parking deck. Security was good but not overbearing. Sound quality to my taste was good, not extremely loud but very clear. Look forward to my next event here.

    Attended a Morgan Wallen concert on a Thursday night at Cone Denim. Had to wait a while to get in…read moreafter doors opened. It was a 35 degree evening so that was unpleasant. It did seem like efforts were being made to get people in as quickly as possible while still checking IDs and completing a security check. As others have mentioned, the venue is pretty narrow. In light of recent events, I had some concerns about how to respond in case of an emergency. Those quelled eventually but it was my first thought coming in. Sound and lighting were good. The floor has just enough of a slope that I didn't feel bad about blocking someone else's view. As with most places, if you're in the front and you need to get a drink or go to the bathroom, getting back to your group is going to be next to impossible. There definitely aren't designated aisles or pathways to allow for crowd movement. Beer prices were reasonable given the venue/event. Tallboys help prevent having to return to the bar frequently. Best to go to the bathrooms upstairs as they are much larger. I'd go back to an even at Cone Denim.

    What an improvement!!…read more I haven't been here in a few years and the last concert had us waiting outside in line for hours. And hours. It was miserable. The show started late and I still don't even know what the reason was. There was no communication. But that was then. I was so pleasantly surprised when the doors opened right on time and while we waited in line, security came around and checked everyone to expedite the process. It was smooth sailing from there, absolutely nothing negative I could say! We had a front row spot, the sound was awesome, the bands were incredible. Great venue, cool disco ball, sweet lights. All around good experience. Hope it stays this way!!

    There are no disabled spots. The lot we used to park in was taken over by another business so you…read morehave to park around the corner and up the hill with all the other cars. Impossible for walkers and wheelchairs. There are marked spots being occupied by the tour bus and the other spots marked in the lot are for certain businesses only. We had a great time last night. I don't think they are enforcing the purse or bag policy. I got smacked and pushed around by lots of purses that were clearly larger and not clear. Aside from that, the air wasn't working properly and we were all dripping in sweat. Friendly staff last night even though they were clueless about the parking. Wil have to see what happens next concert and will report an update then.
